He who is greatest among you shall be your servant. Matthew 23:11
The Lord sent Peter and John to prepare for the Passover. He told them they would meet a man carrying a pitcher of water and to follow him (Luke 22:10). They followed him to the house, but they didn’t follow his example of servanthood. When they met for the Passover there was no one to wash the feet of the guests. Oh, they had what they needed (remember the pitcher of water), but they were too busy arguing over which of them was the greatest. So the Lord showed them true greatness by serving. —Rex Trogdon
Wouldst thou be chief? Then lowly serve.
Wouldst thou go up? Then go down.
But go as low as you will,
The Highest has been lower still.
